So true! :D

If you have a tortilla, you are the world's richest person because you get a new spoon with every bite. :wink:

Tell us something.: I play flute, whistle and harp and have been a member on this board for many years. I have tended to be a lurker recently and just posted a response for the first time in quite awhile.

How about tamales? My Mexican roommate in Texas brought them from home around Christmas time when she and her cousins got together to make them. She taught me how to make paper thin flour tortillas, cook them in a skillet until crisp and then spread with orange marmalade. Yummy!

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Pozole or tlacollos would be pretty authentic. Majorly tasty, too.

Try that with just a touch of jack cheese and tomato marmalade, deliciosos.

Oh, I ADORE tamales! They're a Christmas tradition all over California. Thanks for the reminder...there's a vegetarian tamale cookbook I've been meaning to order for ages.

Horchata

Its pretty simple and its a tasty drink.

You can't go anywhere here in SoCal hardly and not find it.

http://mexicanfood.about.com/od/bebidas ... rchata.htm

Very traditional.

You can make a lot of it too for very little.

Out here you can just go to the store and buy it though.

:D

Real tamales are a lot of work.

You might want to try to make Mole. (Mo-Lay)

National Dish of Mexico.

A sauce basically of chocolate, chili, pumpkin seeds and other spices.

Over turkey is VERY Mexican.

Plenty of resources on the net for that.

I LOVE it.

She checked this site and decided on the cocoa simply because it would be simple and easy to take in to class.

Wow, all these tasty sounding dishes almost make me want to cook!

Mmmm....cocoa sounds like a good thing. It would be easier to transport than something a bit more sloppy, and I tend to think it will be very popular ;)
